The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Allentown-Bethlehem metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, came to a combined $4.73 million. The homes span more than two centuries of building, from a farmhouse dating to 1815 to a home finished in 2001, and they reach across the region: Berks, Lehigh and Northampton counties in Pennsylvania, and two sales across the Delaware in Warren County, New Jersey.
No. 1 — $1,227,000 · 271 Wetzel Rd, Macungie, Pennsylvania
The oldest home in this week’s Top 5 also sits on its largest piece of land. The farmstead at 271 Wetzel Road in Macungie dates to 1815 and spreads over 20.49 acres of wooded, rolling ground with a spring-fed pond, open views toward hills, mountains and valley, and a group of barns and outbuildings. It sold for $1,227,000.
The two-story farmhouse, built of stone and wood siding, has been restored with its early character in plain sight: wood beams overhead, wide-plank pine floors and stone walls left exposed. It has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, two full and one half, in 3,034 square feet. The kitchen is a modern one, with an island, a pie pantry and appliances from Sub-Zero, Viking and Thermador. There is a fireplace in the main-level family room, and the home also has a mudroom and a full basement.
Outside, a screened patio with its own wood-burning fireplace looks out over the countryside. A short walk from the main home, a detached guest house has a kitchenette, a full bath and a bedroom upstairs. The farm buildings include an original bank barn, an animal barn with stalls, a greenhouse, a potting shed and a chicken coop, and the property also has a hot tub and a four-car garage. The property last sold for $705,000 in 2017.
The farmstead went under contract seven days after it was listed and sold above its $1.2 million asking price. Rebecca L. Francis and Meredith Will of BHHS Fox & Roach Center Valley were the listing agents, and Justin R. Kline of House & Land Real Estate represented the buyer in the week’s top sale.
